Cambridge Workplace Chaplaincy operates as a CIO
Charity Registration Number: 1175654
Aims and Objectives
Developing workplace chaplaincy services
Promoting the nature and value of chaplaincy in the workplace
Supporting all in need in the workplace
Supporting chaplains
The charity will operate primarily within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
Developing workplace chaplaincy services
This part of our work has centred round:
The monthly newsletter and prayer diary. Content and engagement with chaplaincy/
wellbeing activity continues to be developed. Regular meetings. Our first meeting
post covid was not well attended therefore we sought to explore ways of engaging
more successfully with our core chaplains and supporters.
Promoting the nature and value of chaplaincy in the workplace
Targeted publicity continues to be very important, the challenges as referred to in last
year's report continues to challenge. Our relationships with the Chamber of
Commerce and The Federation of Small Businesses in addition to the businesses
and organisations with which we are actively in touch, continues to develop.
We continue to develop our online presence with meaningful results. We now feel
very embedded in the technology space but recognise that face to face is still very
important.
Our supporters, chaplains and interested individuals and organisations, numbering
c220, receive regular updates and as said above, are sent our monthly newsletter
and prayer diary which has developed into a considerable resource. We met with a
number of organisations on a speculative basis, to explore common ground.
Engaging with all denominational leaders and 'Churches Together,, in addition to the
Ministry Teams in Ely and Peterborough Dioceses has proved valuable, the results of
which will start to show progress in 2024. Our patrons support as and when they are
able.

Supporting all in need in the workplace
As in 2021-2022 there is no change.
This remains a primary activity, we listen and help everyone regardless of faith or no
faith wherever possible. We developed a number of online resources, the most
notable being a Wellbeing Hub and produced and facilitated a number of training
sessions, including support for the self employed, engaging with HR professionals,
support for business owners and managers and our course titled 'Stop Suicide,.
Particular attention has been given to thinking about how society might emerge from
the lockdown. A paper was prepared by two trustees concerning the impact of the
many losses people will have felt during lockdown. This has found quite wide
circulation amongst ministers in Cambridgeshire. This theme was also explored in a
session with the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, another paper about the pros
and cons of "hybrid working" has been made available.
Supporting chaplains
And again as for 2021-2022, supporting Chaplains is one of the primary reasons why
CWC exists. The Trustees continue to explore new and innovative ways that ensure
the health and wellbeing of our chaplains, this has now been broadened to individual
email and telephone interaction for those who wish it.
We have commissioned services within the Peterborough and Ely Diocese to
celebrate and recognise the role of workplace chaplains which has been attended by
our network and wider chaplains e.g. street pastor teams and partner organisations
in Peterborough.
Strategic Goals
These continue to be:
Developing relationships with and amongst chaplains
Productive engagement with supporting bodies (faith groups, church leaders,
Chamber of Commerce, Professional Organisations etc
Establishing Training Opportunities for Chaplains
In addition, we recognise that the workplace for many is a very different
experience. Returning employees to a workplace are showing various levels
of concern as businesses plan and implement practices for the future.
We are very conscious of the mental health issues which are manifesting
themselves. We feel a role of 'thought leaders, in this area is vital for the
benefit of this community. We will continue to develop and add content to our
Workplace Wellbeing Hub website.
Engaging with denominational leaders
Being active with WCM, the national organisation for workplace chaplains.
To conclude The Trustees meet regularly to develop the work of CWC and, as
indicated above, are actively seeking to extend the reach of chaplaincy in the
workplace and be much proactive in the wider community.
I cannot thank the Trustees enough for their dedication and activity throughout
the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CAMBRIDGESHIRE WORKPLACE CHAPLAINCY ON THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the
Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations
from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as
to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those
matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act,
or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
